Not everyone gets told their stage, it depends on symptoms present and i've just detailed that in a reply to you on your post on another thread.

I note in that you said your cirrhosis was secondary to Non Alcohol related Steato Hepatitis (NASH). The BLT has useful guidance about NAFLD and NASH including a good booklet on treating NAFLD with a healthy diet and exercise.
